Climbing gyms aren't closed yet. I'm going to continue to practice social distancing which means that yes, I will be coming to the crag. I'll also be going to the gym whilst it remains open. If I'm required to go to work, then I'm going climbing too.

If we go into full lock down then that is a different story. Common sense says that if you go out to a crag with no one around you can't spread the virus but you can't guarantee that you will be alone - and the virus could stay alive on rock for hours or more. I really hope we don't get to this stage!
